Show DAILY 6 r STATE JOURNAL, MONDAY, MAY 30, 1904 DEMOCRATICSTATE oeNEW YORK. NEW YORK, May 30 The Bummer la drawing near and with it the time of June weddings and graduating exercises. To the average girl the thought of the coining examinations and with their puisling queatlons dreadful pitfalls does not cause half ho much worry and anxiety aa the question concerning the dress she is going to wear at the customary commencement exercises. It is undoubtedly an important event in the life of a girl, when she graduates from school, after having for years worked hard at her studies to fit herself for her future career, whatever thnt may be. Graduation may only mean the first milestone in her educational advance, or it may murk the finale of her theoretical schooling, the beginning of a practical course, be it the life of a working woman, or life of a domestic drudgery at home. Rut Just about this time the girls about to graduate give no thought to the serious side of their future prospects; the work of preparing themselves for the final examinations and the vexing problem: "What am I going to wear?" keep her too busy. The general custom of dressing girl graduates In white on the occasion of their graduation. Is of quite ancient origin. It can be traced back to the old Romans, with whom the custom was so common that it found expression In the term used for those who were about to graduate or stood beSuch fore their final examination. persons were called candidati, from the color of their toga, which was invariably white. The derlviatlon of the custom Is perhaps not quite correct and far fetched, but at all events the custom la aa much in vogue now as It was when our grandmothers and went to school. It is undeniably an appropriate custom. There la nothing more befitting youthful feminine charms, nothing sweeter to look at than a girl dressed In white. Youth hath charrps of its own and needs not gems or rich ornaments to make itself felt Even the plainest girl looks pretty in a white dress If it fits her well and for hnndsome girls no better foil could be devised than the simplicity and delightful unobtrusiveness of a white frock. It lends an indescribable charm to the graceful lines and .budding forms of the sweet graduating girt Although the custom of selecting white materials for graduating dresses prevails as ever, Dame Fashion has her say aa to the materials, the cut and the trimmings 'of the costumes. Fortunately for a great many girls who are not daughters of millionaires, fashion allows considerable freedom in the selection of materials for grad- uating dresses. Fabrics of every des- cription, from the cheapest to the most expensive, may be used, so long as they are white and are cut and trimmed In the approved style. Judging from the general style of dresses in vogue at the present time graduating dresses will be unusually handsome and charming this year. Among the simpler materials which will be used for such dresses are batistes and mulles of various degrees of fineness and India expensivenesa. and linens, Persian lawns, Swiss also find admirwill many organdie ers. It may be said, however, that the softer materials, like batiste and mulfe are preferable, as they lend themselves better than the stifter materials to producing those soft and graceful effects so characteristic of present styles. The question of trimmings and ornamentations is a very important one with graduating dresses. It is In the trimmings and ornaments thnt the bulk of the expense is. Hand embroideries and ornamental stitchlngs are extremely popular this year and will be used for graduating dresses just as they are on other dresses. If the girl is clever at needlework, or she has a sister who knows how to do things and is willing to sacrifice some of her spare time for her graduating sister, the problem Is comparatively simple and the expense of a suitable dress is not great. Rut if the embroideries have to be purchased the cost of even a simple dress may rise to a prohibitive price. The lines of the graduating dresses should be simple and graceful and their overloading with frills, flounces, avoided. etc., should be carerully However, there is ample room for elaboration of details In the way of embroideries, insertions, stitchlngs, etc., enough to produce any variety of effects from the plainest and most severe to the frivolously ornamental. Princess effets are very pretty and will be used a great deal this year. Graduated tucks are quite suitable for ornamenting the skirts. The waist will in most esses be made with a deep SPECIAL MAY SALE CONVENTION Fashion Letter . UTAH ! A DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVEN-tlo- n is hereby called to meet at the Salt Lake theater.

There will be electing to nates the national Democratic cona great variety of sleeves, from the for the transaction of such vention and full top sleeve, with close fitting long cuffs of lace or transparent material, to other business as may come before the short elbow sleeves, with frills at the convention.

These em- sible to the secretary of the state a elected mittee list of the delegates broideries are exceedingly pretty and can be bought in varying widths at to the state convention. The apportionment to the several prices equally varying. These matercounties is as follows: are as t ials suitable for insertions just and flounclnga, as they are to form the actual foundation of garments. Fleshy women will be delighted to hear of a new invention brought out by some English manufacturer, which will enable even a woman of considerable embonpoint to dress In fashion without making herself ridiculous. The invention consists in a detachable flounce, which is fastened below the hip line and gives the dress the proper flaring effect, without adding to the dimensions of the hip part The flounce comes almost to the knee and may be elaborate to any degree. It Is fastened in a band set with countless buttonholes, stoutly worked and it muy be attached by means of these buttonholes to any kind of a deep, g yoke. Very stout women can have the yoke made of lisle or cheaper woven fabric, while the slender girl may select nearsilk or some cheaper lining. Two or three of these ruffles. If home made, will cost little more than a silk petticoat, ready made and are a decidedly valuable addition to any woman's toilet outfit, while the present style lasts. June brides are confronted with the delightful task of planning their wedding dresses. White, either pure white or of some delicate and scarcely noticeable tint, is, just as ever, the proper thing for wedding dresses. But white is not white by any means, when it comes to making the most appropriate selection for the bride. Great care should be exercised in the selection, as the beauty of the general effect of the bridal costume depends upon it. Rose and ivory tints are suitable for the brunette; while the exquisite silver, pearl, or the new oyster shades, are more for the blonde. Another feature which deserves careful consideration is the material best suited to the figure of the bride. Of course in many cases the question of expense is the paramount issue and cannot be overcome, but under more favorable conditions due attention should be given to that matter. The soft, clinging effects of some materials are more becoming to certain figures, that would appear awkward and crushed if surrounded with the stiff and unyielding folds of satin. Among the walking hats that will be worn this year the sailor will hold a rather prominent position. It is simple, can be made rs expensive or as Inexpensive as the taste or purse of the wearer justify, and in most cases Is quite becoming, especially in connection with chic summer costumes. The seasons sailor will be broader fiom side to side thHn from back to front, with an oval crown. To accentuate this effect the sailor hat will be trimmed from side to side with a flat niching of ribbon which runs in front of the crown and is finished close to the edge of the brim on either side with neatly clipped ends. The ruching is usually made from three to four inch ribbon and should match the color of the walking suit with which Fide and coarse it is to be worn. straws In various colors are shown in the shops and some of them are unusually attractive. tight-flttln- STF.LLE CLAIREMOXT.E Beaver Box Elder 10 18 Cache 87 Carbon Davis Emery 6 19 10 Garfield 6 Grand Iron Juab Kane Millard 8 Commencing Monday, May Ending Upholstering and Repairing Satisfaction Guaranteed Saturday May 28 8 B Piute Rich Salt Lake San Juan San Pete Sevier Summit 4 OGDEN FURNITURE AND CARPET CO.

The dog was tossed to one side and was not Injured, but both of the child's legs were nearly severed just above the knee, and she received' internal Injuries from which she , died fifteen minutes later at the Lebanon hospital. Little Elsa and several companions had been playing in the street with the dog, and the animal, with a two-fo- ot stick In his mouth, would run a gauntlet formed by the children, and they would endeavor to catch him by grabbing at the stick. The play had been going on for half an hour, when the dog stood on the north bound track, seemingly oblivious to the fact that a trolley car was close behind him. Elsa shouted to the animal, but he stood where he was. Wit a sudden bound the girl leaped to the middle of the track, seised the dog about the neck and swung him around so that her back was to the car when it struck her.
